| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I can never forget my school time at Gole Market and this period was synonymous with watching sparrows.They were an integral part of my growing years and the memories associated with them has been imprinted in my mind forever. Going to Talkatora stadium from school or during our vacations, with trees in full bloom, flowers blossoming everywhere, listening to the chirping of these little creatures was so mellifluous.Getting tired,sitting under the shed of the tree, these little friends used to come and hover around us.Watching them drink water was so fun. Early summer morning,the chirping of these birds used to be our wake up call.Sitting on the windows,it felt as if they are saying some thing to us!!!!Feeding them with food and arranging a water pot for them was so satisfying.And who can forget them watching them in monsoon.All drenched up,squeezed up,taking shelter in the balcony,with innocent eyes looking at us, that we might not shoo them away.It never used to happen!!! These little creatures are like a small child, full of mischief, innocence, wanting to cover the whole sky, restless.Lets join hands to save them from getting extinct so that the coming generation too gets to know them!!! |
